We organized a two-week summer workshop for the teachers. One week of this workshop was together with OU high school teachers. The workshop included two lectures and discussion session in the mornings and labs in the afternoons. Our lead teacher, Susan Bigge, helped us to organize the session on the practical implementation of the information to the school curricula. She is teaching the AP classes this year, and she asked us to include some material that is relevant to her AP curriculum as well. In addition to Susan, we had another three physics teachers, all of them from the Tulsa area. All teachers are highly motivated, they asked a lot of questions and found the material to be very interesting. All of them expressed that they want to participate in the QuarkNet workshops and meetings in the future. In the morning sessions we discussed basic principles of particle physics and particle detectors. In the afternoons of the first week we were doing some experiments, e.g., imitation of the Rutherford scattering, Millikan experiment and construction of the cloud chamber. In the second week we constructed four cosmic ray detectors, which we got from OU. Three of them went to the "OSU" high schools, and one cosmic ray detector went to "OU" high school.

We plan to meet during fall and spring breaks. We will discuss the start of the LHC, first events seen by ATLAS and later on the calibration of the ATLAS detector with first data. People involved in the project at OSU: Flera Rizatdinova (organization + lectures on particle physics); Alexander Khanov (lectures on particle detectors); Kaladi Babu (lectures on neutrino physics); and graduate student Babak Abi (construction of the cosmic rays detectors).
